So sorry for your situation. We are an information site only and cannot provide financial assistance directly. However I here are some suggestions for places to look for help:

1. One place to start is the National Council On Aging. That link should take you to their site where, near the top, you'll see a search option. You may also be able to find a way to reach a local office.

2. This article about grants for seniors will also help you be sure you are getting all the benefits to which you are entitled and also provides tips for where to find resources and assistance for various types of issues.

3. Contact your closest Community Services Agency. They often have some funds available to assist people with urgent needs like your car and perhaps some medicine for your husband.
